3.
Configure the Link Failure Detection option.
a.
If you enable this option, there will be a periodic transmission of Echo-Request frames (a
maintenance type frame provided by PPP's Link Control Protocol). Reception of the
appropriate Echo-Reply frame indicates a properly functioning connection; incorrect
replies or lack of replies indicate a connection failure.
b. Enter the Echo Frequency. This specifies, in seconds, how often the Echo-Request frames are
transmitted.
c.
Enter the Maximum Attempts. This specifies how many consecutive Echo-Requests are sent
without receiving a reply before declaring the PPP link to be faulty.
4.
Complete the IPCP Configuration.
Select the IP Address Negotiation Initiation value. This defines when IPCP will initiate IP address
IPCP option negotiation. Possible choices are:
•
Always Initiate (IPCP will always initiate the IP address option negotiation on a PPP link)
•
Initiate if IP Address Unknown (IPCP will initiate the negotiation only when the peer's IP ad-
dress is unknown)
5.
